The Church Is Open
If you are looking for somewhere to find a bit of peace and time for contemplation, or just want to look inside, St Mary's Church is open between 9.00 and 15.00 on school days.
METHODIST COFFEE MORNINGS (The Ones with the Scones)
Methodist Coffee Mornings, with "those" cream scones, are held on the first Saturday of every month in St Mary's Church - 10.00am to Noon. All are very welcome. Come along for the delicious scones, a drink and a friendly chat.
Christingle Service More Popular Than Ever
Well over 300 people packed the church and 108 children received a Christingle. The atmosphere was incredible! £405.14 has been sent to the Church of England Children's Society compared to £346 in 2010.
Thanks to everyone who helped with this great event, and particularly to Kate Marr for leading the service and to Barbara and Bob Green for making and donating the Christingles.
